Trying to Keep Up

      Oh my gosh! Life is so tiring as always! Miss L is getting her top teeth and possibly has a stomach virus and she is miserable! I am so so tired. She has been such a demon child clingy thing and exercising or doing any kind of school work is impossible. Oh, but I love that munchkin. Also, I  haven't had a chance to touch up on Luke. He was going through this phase where he maybe had half a box of raisins a day and basically was living off of  Pedisure and milk. Oh lord, that boy has been eating everything in sight the last few days. I've looked it up and it seems this is pretty common. Basically, the starve (not really) themselves for a few days and then stock up. Oh whatever! I'll take it. It is so nice to hear him ask for food again! So with that being said I'm so excited to post this pic!
     

     
    This is me and my huney at two different weddings about 5 months apart. Can you tell the difference? We've both lost about 15 lbs. (yes I wore the same dress but I was not gonna spend another 75 bucks on a dress I don't plan on being able to wear ever again. plus it was two completely different groups of friends so nobody seen it twice!) The amazing thing is the difference  in my arms! I was really hating them, so I'm glad to see them get smaller cause I never really been able to lose weight there. I do plan to start lifting weights more to see if that helps with slimming them down. I'd love to have nice arms by summer! I tend to focus on legs a lot and I still want to do that. I just want to devote some time to my arms also.
    
     Alright, so I'm really tired ready to roll in bed. I'll type some more up this week and hopefully L will be feeling better and will let me. Laters!

   

I'm a Stay-at-mom! Kinda.

Wow. I feel like I start all my posts with 'wow'. How does life get so crazy. Oh yeah, kids. Thing 1 and Thing 2 are officially keeping me busy. And drunk. Haha. Seriously though, sometimes when I'm home with both I wonder how horrible it is to start drinking vodka at 3? What if it's more sprite zero than vodka? No? Ok, guess its just me. But for realz, Thing 2 a.k.a. Miss Lillian is keeping me on my toes. She is officially a speedy crawler and is attempting to stand and walk. The dog bowls are her favorite things, ever! Ughhh. I remember this with the first one also and it lasted about 6-9 months. Dumping the water bowl then splashing in the water, eating dog food. My poor fur babies just look at me like 'again? Didn't we just get past this?' Yes girls, we did. I don't like it anymore than you do.
So, I'm a first time college student at 32. Yes, you read that right. It's actually what is keeping me so busy. I'm officially a SAHM M-F and go to school online and at night and work 9 straight hours on my feet on Saturday. But this is the reason I've not been writing much. I spend every napping minute doing homework. I'm very excited to be doing this, though. It's giving me a chance to be home more with my babies. Even if it does cause me to spend more money on vodka. :)
I have been able to run more since being home and I love that! I did 13 miles last week and got in about an 1 1/2 of strength training. Amazing for me. I haven't been able to devote this much time to working out since before the munchkins! I'd thinking of signing up for a 10k since to help motivate me more to lose weight or really since it just seems to be the 'in' thing right now. Still hesitant though. May think about some more first. And I'll leave you with a pic of me and Thing 2. I'm sans makeup but honestly, I probably will be a lot from now on. Get used to it.
